Shall I Put These Feelings Into Words
A poem
Shall I put these feelings into words?
Shall I have a moment of grief,
Day after day I’m lost in thoughts
Of when I will rest in peace
Shall I put these feelings into words?
Shall I refrain from bliss?
A germ of love shimmers in my heart
So pure it’ll blossom in paradise
Shall I put your feelings into words?
Shall thou acquiesce a kiss?
A bed of rose, a pillow of thorns
Still, I’ll be your humble prince
Shall I put these feelings into words?
Shall I speak from my heart?
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”
Whence love has played her part
Shall I put my feelings into words?
Shall I let my epitaph speak?
A hymn, a verse something better than words
That’ll immortalize “Rest in peace”
Shall I put these feelings into words?
Would I ever be heard?
My words are the only immortal seeds
That lives on when I’m dead
